Point to be noted:

  3. Siebel Image creator will need to be run in console mode for 8.1.1 (only 8.1.1.10 image creation is shown below).

Step 1: Set JAVA_HOME environment variable. This is required to execute Siebel Image creator as all the binaries are created as jar files and OS specific installation can be created using image creator.
Set environment variables

First Problem: You might run into this issue if you have extracted the jar files and image creator files in different location, Siebel Image creator tried to find for SBA_$(Version_enu_windows_Siebel_Tools.jar file. 
To avoid this issue you can either change the name of the jar file to the file requested or follow the recommended approach to copy all the files in one folder.



Once you have passed that step Siebel Install Images are created at the selected location and ready for install.
